James was amazing with my two big dogs and house sitting while we were away for a few days! Easy communication, adorable pictures, and somehow pacified my wild 2.5yr pit/mastiff mix. Highly recommend booking with him.

Erin really went above and beyond for us. Just before we were about to take a long planned vacation, one of our kitties came down with a virus and required multiple medications, including IV fluids. We were so grateful to have found her profile. She is an expert cat sitter, with the background as a vet tech and was able to administer all the medications as needed while we were gone. Also, she kept our house was in tiptop shape. Best of all, when we came home and our sick kitty was back to being himself. We couldn’t have asked for more. Although we don’t have dogs, I’m sure that Erin provides the same expert care for them as well. We will be having her back for sure.

Crystal did a really good job taking care of my dog. He has much energy and is always curious. She took him on several beautiful, long, peaceful walks. He loves exploring new places and meeting new people. Crystal took care of all of that. When I returned home, he was happy, he was tired and he was smiling. I am so happy. I highly recommend Crystal.

Denise was wonderful with my dogs. I have 3 small dogs who like to have company at home and that’s exactly what she provided. I was able to relax peacefully knowing my babies were safe and home, enjoying themselves. I got lots of updates throughout the weekend including videos and texts. She left the house exactly as she found it and had no issues! I will be inviting Denise back for my next trip!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them! I’ve pet sat for many families, including stays up to two weeks. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with medications, special needs, and neurological conditions, and always treat every pup like my own. Currently a college student with a mix of online and in-person classes, giving me a consistent and flexible schedule for pet care. I’m consistently available throughout the day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional availability depending on my class schedule.

About: I am an animal care professional with a degree in animal studies and over a decade of pet sitting experience. I have worked extensively with dogs and cats in environments such as boarding facilities, training centers, shelters and more. I am also familiar working with various exotics. Animal care is my passion and as your sitter I can guarantee the best possible care for your pet. I have a very flexible schedule. I can come for quick drop-ins, such as potty breaks and feedings throughout the day. Or I can do longer visits for activities such as walks, playtime and cuddle time. If your pet is not much of a cuddler I can also just come by to be a loving human presence for a few hours while they go about their day. I am available practically anytime on specified days. While caring for your pet in your home I will respect your household and follow all of your specified pet care instructions. I will make sure to clean up after your pet whenever necessary and use the specified leashes, collars, toys, food, and spaces as instructed. I am here to carry out their normal routine as best I can while caring for them as if they were my own.

Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup, Spud, and she made the entire experience so much easier by providing such loving and attentive care. We came home to happy dogs! She went above and beyond—not only taking great care of our pups but also handling little accidents from Spud with patience. She also sent daily updates and pictures and kept in constant communication, which we truly appreciated! Knowing how they were doing throughout our trip gave us so much peace of mind. We are so grateful for her kindness, updates, and the thoughtful note she left for us. We would love to have her back for future visits! If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and detail-oriented to watch your pets, we highly recommend Elizabeth. She’s the best! 🐶💛

This was my second experience utilizing Rover house sitting. Communication was excellent with photos and prompt replies. She even mopped the basement and cleaned the kitchen sink area, which was an added bonus. My understanding was that she and her husband would stop by 4 times a day and walk the dogs. The house smelled good upon arrival and my pets appeared to be in good health & spirits. In addition, she is a retired vet tech. So, yes, I would consider having the couple house sit again.

About: Professionally, I have been dog sitting for about 2-3 years now. I currently do not own any animals, however, I have had dogs previously. I love dogs and plan to open a doggy daycare business one day. Dogs are like children and need to be loved and cared for as such. If given the chance I would do just that. Treat the pets as I would want someone else to treat mine. I know how to feed, bathe, walk and clean properly behind animals. For overnight visits the house will be as clean as you left you it. There is huge park in the back of my apartment building where it is very pet-friendly. The area I live is a very grassy like environment and has more than enough room for dogs and animals to play and exercise. Walk/potty break 7AM Breakfast by 7:30 AM Lunch: if there is a lunch time it’ll be by 2:30 PM Dinner: by 6PM Playtime: all the time in between Animals will stay leashed any time we are outside unless we are in the dog park and owner says it’s okay to unleash. I also am an active jogger so I can keep up with younger and old dogs. I’m a chill sitter that vibes off the dogs energy.

Maura is exceptional on every count. The dogs (including our senior Black Lab) loved her when we met her at our initial meeting . She sent regular updates and photos. We lost electricity for over 24 hours and she handled it with patience and professionalism, getting all the items needed to keep herself and our 2 dogs warm and happy. She managed 3 meals and meds for our older boy and got them on an impressive schedule that we hope to maintain. Her knowledge and understanding of caring for animals, and her problem solving skills are remarkable. We were so fortunate to have found her and hope to utilize her services in the near future! Any pets will be in the most capable hands with her.

About: I have grown up around a lot of pets, and in the past few years I have lived with and helped take care of multiple dogs. I prioritize creating a calm and peaceful environment for pets in my car while their owners are away. I am flexible with my scheduling and am available most days throughout each week. This allows me to accommodate a variety of needs including walk-in visits and walks. For drop-ins and in-home visits, I prioritize keeping your pet's routine as consistent and stress free as possible. I follow all instructions regarding care, feeding, walks, and playtime carefully. I make sure to spend quality time with each pet so they feel comfortable, and I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I'll also flag anything odd right away.

Autumn watched our golden retriever for the week while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pictures and we were very happy to know that Lena was in good hands. Very respectful of our home and we will definitely book again!

Autumn was an attentive sitter! She communicated with us daily and went above and beyond. The house was spotless when we returned which was so nice to come home to! The best proof was that our pets who are typically very needy did not overreact or get clingy after our return which they have done in the past after we’ve been gone. Very grateful for Autumn!

FAQs for House Sitting - Macon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Macon on Rover is $43.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 926 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Macon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Macon walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Macon maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Macon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Macon. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
